LIFE Al MONTE CARLO.

Monte Carlo as n Mecca for wO-
men desperate and wicked is wildly
portrayed by traveller: "a foreign
lady was here the other day, who
required for the development of her
particular system no less than a
complete roulette table. Happy,
because notorious, she stood, clad
in u soul-sacrifying costume, mon
arch of the board, heaping up D.
franc pieces till the entire green
seemed silver, while an awe-stricken
circle stood with round eyes and
arms dropped to their sides, marvel
ing. As the pitiless rake continued
to sweep away the argent flood there
was now and again sob of SYM
patty from bystanders. Pluck
should meet with success. But of
all goddesses she who presides here
is the most cross-grained. Here
everyone knows everybody's former
life, and if we may believe what we
are told all are equally shady.
Ionder brilliant apparition in sap
phires and blue velvet, who is pass
ing with angelic shipper, has muir
dered two husbands-or was it
three! That one in red went wrong
long since, has ruined twelve mil
lionaires, the last of whom cut his
throat upon her doorstep. Murmurs
of such fell import load the air.
There is certain spot known to the
initiated as 'rabbies' corner"
whence all who enter and leave the
fool-trap can be comfortably recon-
noitered. The stories that follow
one another in as appalling string
as the procession of Banquo'e sons
are sufficient to set the blood curd-
ling, to start the hair erect. If a
1.-THE of them is true then all the
vast army of the evil one is congre-
gated in this earthly paradise. =

MAIL MATTERS.

A communication has been for
warded to the Sydney Chamber of
Commerce setting forth the advan-
tages of mail service between Eng
land and Australia via Canada over
the service conducted as proposed
under the new Suez contract. Whilst
the latter service between London
and Sydney would be Sod l21hr by
the Orient Company, it is claimed
that service might be conducted
from Liverpool to Halifax, from
Halifax to Vancouver, and from
Vancouver to Brisbane in from god
7hr to 32d 4hr, and thence by rail
to Sydney in Id Chr; or in SD 1Ohr
at the longest. 1t is said that the
Canadian Government have called
for tenders for a new Atlantic SER
vice at 16, II and Is knots per
hour; and it is on the basis of these
speeds, with rate of 139 to 10
knots on the Pacific side, and a rail-
way speed of 80 miles in America
and Australia, that the proposed
service via Canada is to be con-
Quoted in the time stated, the time
of SD 1Ohr being possible with
speed on the Atlantic of 16 knots,
and on the Pacific of l3t knots. 1t
is claimed that the route via the
Pacific is over calmer waters, and
through less trying temperature,
and would not involve such heavy
expense to passengers as on the
Eastern line Exchange.

ST. HELENA.

The best known and most re-
nowned of the solitary islands of the
world has since the opening of the
Suez Canal sunk into state of
stagnation very different to the
halcyon days when the roadstead at
jamestown was crowded with Indian
shipping. A letter to an evening
paper from st, Helena gives an ac-
count of the most unobtrusive and
unassuming colony which England
possesses. Its natural attractions
are very great, but the sentiment
which attached to the spot through
its associations with the Great
Napoleon are fast fading away. The
inhabitants take life easily, and are
contented with their lot, setting
thereby an excellent example to
their fellow-creatures of the outer
world. st. Helena has most de-
lightful climate, with all the advan-
tages and none of the drawbacks of
the tropics. In fact, in this respect,
as well as in cultivation and scenery,
it will be found not unlike the

IMPORTANT CANADIAN APPEAL.

Before the Judicial Committee of
the Privy Council, on the 18th
February, Mr.. Cohen, Q. c., raised
a question of some Importance to
underwriters. A vessel on a
voyage from the River st. Law
renee to Norfolk, for the purpose of
taking cargo Of cotton, was ice
bound, and he commended that,
though the ship was not construc-
tive total loss, still, if the object of
the voyage was totally frustrated, it
had a totally lost freight, for which
the owners could recover from the
underwriters. The Supreme Court
in Canada decided against the
owners, and he now applied for leave
to appeal against that decision.
Lord Watson said the question was
very serious one, whichever way it
was decided, and the committee
would therefore grant leave of APP
peal Home News.

contempt. Most men talk very
pleasantly before the faces of the
judges, who hear only fine things of

they and everyone else used to

the bar will not allow this case to

AN AMERICAN MlSER.

Early this year, on cold day
following bitter cold period, there
were found frozen to death in a
small house on Locust street, Phila-
delphia, two old men. Joseph
Perry, who owned the house, had
been q noted business man in his
earlier career, but he had gradually
degenerated into a miser, who lived
in the house, with companion
almost as old as himself, Richard
Price. The two men had been
missed for several days, until finally,
getting anxious, the neighbors, with
the aid of the officers of the law,
broke into the house and found both
men lying dead on the kitchen floor.
Each man wore only shirt and
trousers, and under them were moth
ing but a few bags. There were no
signs of violence, but every indica-
ton that they had been frozen to
death. Two bottles of whisky were
found near them, one partly con-
sumed, while in the cellar was almost
a ton of Goals. The house was in
filthy condition, every room Uttered
with rubbish; there were no carpets
on the floors, nor the slightest APP
pearance of comfort, and here they
had practically starved themselves
and been frozen to death. The
coroner's physicians found such
evidences of alcoholism, with alb
sence of all signs of food in their
stomachs, that they announced as
the result of post-morten examine
ton that, weakened by starvation
and disease, the men had fallen in
drunken stupor and had been
frozen, lying dead upon the floor at
least four days before being found.
The discovery, the Philadelphia cor
respondent of the Times says, made
u great sensation, for this horrible
end had come to them while sur
rounded with wealth, as subse-
quent search demonstrated. Perry
had lived in the house for forty
years, his earlier life being passed
there with his mother, who died
many years ago. Since then the
house was always closed, and had
an air of mystery, the neighbors
rather stunning it. "A searching
party, led by the coroner's clerk,
on the day after the discovery, began
q careful examination of the apart
ments. In the second story front
was Perry's bed, with n litter of
odds and ends upon the floor,
various empty bottles, some scanty
articles of clothing, and boxes and
bundles of papers in two closets,
with crockery and broken glassware
upon the mantel. The bed, which
was examined first, was old and
with moth-eaten coverlets, and half
worn and time-discolored sheets
Upon the mattress was found tar
nished silver dollar; then feather
bed was removed disclosing $500 in
gold certificates. Hanging to the
! footboard was bag containing S94s

WHAT JUDGE HARTWELL SAYS.

Yesterdays Gazette publishes an
opinion from Judge Hartwcll, rela-
tive to the Contempt of Court
case in which that paper was involved
two or three months ago. Mr.. Hart
well talks common sense. Following
is what he says:--
81 regret exceedingly to see that
the Supreme Court has thought it
necessary to regard the Gdzette's
paragraph upon some mans hog
case as a contempt of Court, either
on the fact or law. 1t is bad thing
for the public and bad for the judges
themselves, that the press be "muz-
zled," and practically it amounts to
that, if such moderate statements as

tine MAN DANTE"

1t has taken the world nearly 500
years to rightly measure Dante. So
late as the middle of the 18th GEN.
fury Voltaire voiced the opinion of
cultivated people when he wrote of
Dante: "The Italians call him
devine but it is hidden divinity;
few people understand his oracles.
He has commentators, which perhaps
is another reason for his not being
understood. His reputation will go
on increasing, because scarce any
body reads him." TO Father Bet
tinelli Voltaire writes: ~ estimate
highly the courage with which you
have dared to say that Dante was a
mailman and his work Il monster"
But he adds: ''There are found
among us, and in the 18th century,
people who strive to admire imagin-
ations so stupidity extravagant and
barbarous." But the world has
turned around good many times
since 1850, and literary opinion has
turned with it. Voltaire's has been
setting and Dante's rising sun. 1t
is only since 1910 that the study of
Dante has become at all general.
And now Ruskin's measure of the
great Florentine, while perhaps
somewhat extravaganza, is the one
acIuiesced in by scholars. The great
English critic says, that "the central
man of all the world, as representing
in perfect balance the imaginative,
moral, and intellectual faculties, all
at their highest, is Dante"
There is some excuse for even
educated people being ill-informed
in regard to Dante and his great
works, for it was less than forty
years ago that the first translations
ofhis Inferno and Diuina COmmedia
were made in America, by Parsons
and Longfellow; and in England the
first complete translation of the
Commeaia (Boyd's) did not appear
until 1902.
A rare opportunity is now offered
our cultivated and intelligent COM
munity to listen to study of this
wonderful man, Dante. Mrs. Flor
ence Williams has given years to
the study of the great poets and
masters of literature, and among
them all to none has she given more
time and pains-taking research than
to the great Florentine poet and
politician. Mrs. Williams ready
command of language, her power of
word-picturing, and the ability to
make her hearers see, as she sees,
the man once more in his true his
torical surroundings, all tend to
make her lecture sal generis. Those
who would see the Italy and Florence
of the last half of the 18th century
and the first 20 years of the 18th
century with Daute as the great
central figure of that time, should
attend Mrs. Williams lecture on
Friday evening in Mrs. Dlckson's
parlors, at 7:45 o'clock.

OSTRICH EARNING.

Attracted by the profits that have
been derived from the rearing of
ostriches and the sale of their
feathers, enterprising persons have,
at various times, exported these
birds from the Cape of Good Hope
to such divergent quarters as India,
South Australia, the River Plate and
New Zealand; and in all these it is
said that the birds are thriving,
notably so in the last-named colony,
from which a first consignment of
feathers was recently brought to
England Eastern paper.
California has several ostrich
farms stocked with birds obtained
from the same source.

In gold coin then another bag was

with titledeeds to houses and lands,

Their examination would reveal more
treasures. No will was found, but
heirs quickly appeared, and they
are now supervising the proceed
ings in the case. The lives led by
the two old men were peculiar.
They had lived together IN the
house for more than twenty years.
When sober they treated each other
with brotherly affection, but when
under the influence of liquor they
were very quarrelsome. A few
years ago Price in drunken quarrel
cut Perry in the head with Ratchet,
and the wounded man was taken to
hospital, his assailant being ar
rested. But Perry, when he became
sober, would not make any charge
against his companion, and he was
released. Perry possessed all the
riches, and Price could not hold
fast to penny. Perry often tainted
Price about his spendthrift habits,
saying he would end in the poor
house; but whenever Price, who was
q carpenter, made few dollars,
Perry always took care that they
spent them together in drunken
debauch. No woman ever was in
the house after Perry's mother was
removed from it just before her
death seventeen years ago; neither
was any physician permitted to
enter. A terrier dog was the
miser's companion, and fear of him,
with the belief that no valuables
were kept in the house, probably
protected it from thieves. Once,
when the fear of pestilence caused q
general cleansing throughout Phila-
delphia, the health officials ordered
a complete fumigation of the house,
but the miser in some way managed
to prevent the inspectors from doing
any work. Clad in rags, shabby
and forlorn, the miser hobbled
about, collecting his rents and in
terest money, and then carried the
proceeds home to be hidden in
chinks and crannies of the old
house. Hardly has there been told
a worse tale of the most disgust
ing avarice, filthiness, and abject
squalor. Fiction cannot surpass
this story of how these two old men,
the miser and his spendthrift com
panion, were found starved and
frozen in the midst of dirt and rags,
gold and wealth, and the titles to
valuable property. The stern rea-
lily here told has given Philadelphia
SILVER.
